normiss 891 #1 September 17, 2009 I was told if "you" are the one doing the breaking up, that "you" need to be the one to move out. I've never heard this rule.... What are some of the rules for ending a relationship that you've heard of? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are some of the rules for ending a relationship that you've heard of? That actually depends, if you had the place and they moved in...then it is still your place. If you got the place together, then its a little different.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micduran 0 #6 September 17, 2009 I agree. Whoever had the place first stays. If you got the place together, the one who can afford it should be the one to stay. If neither can afford it, both need to move.Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 891 #7 September 17, 2009 I found it interesting years ago when I got divorced and was paying for a house I no longer lived in....suddenly I was meeting women with no house payments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #8 September 17, 2009 IMO whoever invested most in the place gets to stay, unless you agree otherwise. In my case, the ex and I bought a house together. Given the market, we're pretty stuck with it for now, but even though he was the unhappy one in the relationship, I moved out. Mind you, there is now a lodger who pays for my half of the mortgage, which is only fair. I think it's different when kids are involved.. Whoever stays with the kids, stays with the house & the other partner needs to step up to the plate & at least cover some of the kids' costs."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misternatural 0 #14 September 17, 2009 I think the rule is; If the guy is shorter than the woman....then he has to move out. If the woman is fatter than the guy.... then she has to move out. that's the hetero- rule anyway Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

Misternatural 0 #23 September 17, 2009 >No, I meant what if the woman is fatter than the guy and the guy is shorter than the woman? then the smelly pet rule applies. The worst case scenario: A short fat guy with a smelly dog who has to move back into his parents basement. Now what woman wouldn't want to hook up with that situation?

tigra 0 #24 September 17, 2009 Quote I hear of some divorced people continuing to share the house because of the market slump. That sure good cramp your dating style. I worked with a "couple" like that a few years ago. They also worked for the same company, same division and in the same office. They made a decision to keep the house and stay there until their kids were out of school but they both dated other people. This was NOT a friendly divorce, either! I don't know how either one of them could stand it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how either one of them could stand it! Nothing beats the story of the brownstone house in NYC where a couple lives in until their marriage went to hell. Neither of them would leave. So what did the man do? Split the house in half, right down the middle with a new interior wall.
